For these behaviors or problems you can choose to handle them in the following ways:
- Remain calm and know who to call for help, if necessary. Find someone to stay with the student while calls to the appropriate resources are made (i.e. Dean of Students, campus police, the Counseling Center).
- Remember that it is NOT your responsibility to provide the professional help needed for a severely troubled/disruptive student. You need only to make the necessary call and request assistance.
- When a student expresses a direct threat to themselves or others, or acts in a bizarre, highly irrational or disruptive way, call the University Police Department at 248-370-3333.
